Solar Power Can Help Save our Environment
- Solar Energy helps reduce your carbon footprint as it is a clean energy alternative.
- Solar Energy does not contribute to global warming, acid rain or smog. Solar Power therefore, actively contributes to the decrease of harmful green house gas emissions.
- Less pollution in the air means cleaner air for us to breathe, therefore increasing our life expectancy.
- Solar energy is currently only a small percentage of our total energy use. You are helping our area achieve its 15% green energy target by 2020 and global targets of 20% at the same time by switching to Solar power.
- Solar energy produces no waste and no pollution. Therefore limiting your impact on climate change and global warming.
- Solar Power is quiet. In fact, solar panels are silent. They convert sun light into electricity without making any noise.[2]
The average SolarCity solar power system will offset 178 tons of carbon dioxide over 30 years*, comparable to:
Saving the amount of fuel it takes to drive 390,300 miles, which would get you around the equator about 15.7 times.[1]

Planting 10 football fields full of trees. [1]
|
Conserving so much water used in electricity production that it would fill 6.7 Olympic-sized swimming pools. [1]
|
Eliminating the need to burn 174,907 pounds of coal. [1]

Solar power systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Installing solar panels on your home helps combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces our collective dependence on fossil fuel. Traditional electricity is sourced from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.[1]
